Princeton is rated higher than Texas State in Sagarin. It won't be as bad as Norfolk State but expect a blowout.

Rutgers 41-7

Texas State scores early and RU down 2 scores ... RU settles down and wins 31-21

 

[WhiteBus]

You only need to win by 1. And do it 6 times.

 

[FELONIOUSMONK]

As long as it's a W and nobody gets hurt I don't care about metrics.

 

[Colbert17!]

We need to be 1-0.

McNulty won’t show full playbook and makes sure to build Art’s confidence. Hoping for a shutout but State scores late against third stringers

I would think that attendance is usually higher that you are all predicting on the 1st game of the season no matter who we play. Just like Opening Day in baseball. I will guess that attending will easily be in the 40s.

I would think that attendance is usually higher that you are all predicting on the 1st game of the season no matter who we play. Just like Opening Day in baseball. I will guess that attending will easily be in the 40s.

So ... 47,000+ announced for 2015 opener (Norfolk State) and 45,000+ announced for 2016 home opener (Howard). Season tickets were down by 8,700 between 2015 and 2017 and no no gain this season. So, you're starting with a base of something like 20,000 tickets sold now. Add in, maybe, 3-4,000 students for a noon start on a holiday weekend.

There are choice tickets on StubHub in 106-108 for $20 or sit upstairs for $7. Those would be our season ticket holders with family plans or allergic to a hot day in the sun.

Hobbs will never announce a "crowd" under 40,000, but he'll have to cut it close because the place is going to look only a little more than half full, even with 100s of freebies to youth football, etc.

Just win, baby!
